[RP TownTalk] Goat Man Hollow

Mon Oct 22 12:31:52 UTC 2007

Since I brought it up, here's how it worked out.  

I got there around 9:15. I understand they stopped selling tickets at 9:30 -
but I don't know how late they let advance ticket-holders get in line.  I
would guess there were 60 or so people behind us.  They take people through
in groups of about 12, moving from room to room.  

I think it was about 10:30 when we went in, and it was 11:00 when we
finished.  I was fine with all of the waiting, but my 12-year-old nephew and
another adult with me got grumpy.  Unfortunately, we were in line with some
cynical / obnoxious early 20-somethings who entertained themselves by
complaining and criticizing.  I get it, I was the same way when I was their
age, still it was tiresome.  I have to wonder if the crowd isn't friendlier
earlier in the evening.   

Thanks to all who put it together. Very creative, and clearly the result of
a lot of work.

I bought advanced tickets the second night.  Actually the 8 pm entry time
was  a bit misleading.  We got there and into the courtyard during our time
period but then had to wait in groups of 6 for our turn to go through. Since
it is a long haunted house, and since they only run one or two groups at a
time, the waiting time actually took an hour, and it wasn't that crowded.
If you are just one person, they might match you with a group that is "near
the front".  My suggestion would be to go a fifteen minutes before it opens
for the night.  Then you can be at the beginning of the line and it might
shorten your wait. If you get there at 9pm, then all the folks from 8 or
8:30 who are still waiting will be in front of you.

Mind you- I have no complaints.  It was fun and scary and I was impressed at
the hard work they put into it.

Folks -
I was planning to go to Goatman Hollow, tonight, but it looks like I missed
the opportunity to buy advance tickets.  Does anybody know if it's realistic
for me to walk up and buy tickets?

Also, the third entry period is 9:00 - 9:30, but it's listed as open until
11:00. I don't get it - how late can I go and get in?

Nancy

I went thru the first night it opened.
It takes about 30 minutes to walk
thru - It was kind of neat.  There are
little rooms with scary things and 
you wander in darkened halls between
the little scenes.,
